Totally agree. The parents needs to work with their children and prepare them for life. I sit with my son everyday , even on weekends , doing math and reading. I will never send him to school without looking over his homework and make sure he understands his homework. He is only 8 years old now but once he hits HS I want him to be prepared. If a kid fails in school I would blame the parents first.
One thing that is important is the parental factor. One thing I knew about one guy who pretty much messed up his own life was this: His parents weren't doing their job. The same kid who vandalized my house, gave me problems in school, who hung out with trash, one common denominator was the parents. The parents didn't do their job. Ir reflected in his grades too.
What does expelling solve for the student being expelled? Anyone bet they will turn to crime and then be a substantial burden in their lifetime? I do not see why the idea of self-contained work-study-discipline setting would not work. I recall in the not so distant past parents who had the means would voluntarily send their pre-teens, teens to military boarding school.(I have a close family relation who was sent to one and he is now a credit to society-not a burden) Why not similar for those who are disciplinary cases? Except State managed so that the lower classes can send their little devils.
Many parents would voluntarily send their kids to military school. However, in the instance of inner city kids, how many of the parents would think to do that? And furthermore, what does it cost to send a child to military school?
